Eighth Qrade Plans Zo Education The class of 1990 is very different, not different like in “strange, but different in “not alike.” Mike Emery and Lori Harms chose green as their favorite color, but blue ranked number one overall. Pizza was voted in as the favorite food, while Dan Hopper's favorite food was shiska- bobs! Pepsi was the most often drunk pop. Keith Kowal and Todd Nielsen didn't have a special kind as long as it was JUST pop, while Brian Stuetelberg pre- ferred root beer. Mr. Tjaden was chosen as best teach- er. When asked who her favorite teach- er was, Julyn Farris replied, “Mr. Tja- den because he is funny and he helps us. He really tries to teach us.” Shelley Hackwell liked, “Mr. Rick Nielsen be- cause he is so funny and he listens when you ask him a question.” There was little agreement when it came to a favorite movie with this bunch. Out of 26 students, there were 14 different movies. These ranged from “Red Dawn to “Sixteen Candles. Some even enjoyed “Hard Bodies” the best! - right, Beth? Don Johnson from “Miami Vice just squeaked by as favorite actor - sixteen others were mentioned; for instance Jeremie and Bill liked to watch Billy Dee Williams. There was one thing all these students had in common. This was going to col- lege. Almost all of the eighth graders saw themselves still going to further their education in five years.

Brandy Sorensen Leah Thompson Jason Van Aernam Dana Ventercher Paula Wahlert Stephanie Wede Tracy Wheeler Travis Wilson Robyne Akers Mitch Rydl James Sampson George Schultes Todd Sonntag The Class of 1989 had three favorite movies with four votes each. ‘‘Nightmare on Elm Street,” Hardbodies” and, of course, the big hit of the season Rambo were the favorites. Breann Jayne disagreed, saying that “Cujo” was her favorite. Bre must like movies about adorable, cuddly dogs! Favorite food ranged widely from the all-time favorite pizza with 25 votes to lasagna to burritos. Leah Thompson en- joyed the more all-American chicken along with George Schultes who liked to munch on a sizzling sirloin. Ms. Berryhill received the most votes for favorite teacher (19), but Brent Brinkmeier enjoyed Mr. Sleister. He ex- plains things well and we have a good time in his class, he said. The Cosby Show” ranked Number 1 with the freshmen. Brandy Sorensen preferred Riptide” while Jason Petty enjoyed “Misfits of Science. Freshmen like to be entertained and Bruce Springsteen and Bryan Adams were chosen to do just that. Eddie Murphy was Number 1 entertainer with 18 votes. Robyne Akers preferred wrestling stars Mr. Wonderful and Rick Steamboat the Dragon. Favorite pastimes seemed split between the sexes. The boys enjoyed trapping as their number one activity while the girls liked talking on the phone and reading. Stephanie Wede enjoyed being with friends and writing letters. Scott Hansen liked playing the drums and listening to his stereo. Why is this class different? We are very unique and we all get along and have a good time together, said Tracy Wheeler. De Ette Black added, “We are close and we all get along like brothers and sisters. We get along most of the time and have good times together. “We’re the BEST!” agreed Brandy Sorensen.
